Hey guys,
I went out with my 8" Orion Intelliscope the other night and I think I found Uranus, though I'm not exactly sure.
When I looked into the eyepiece it was extremely small (but, blue-greenish) and looked like a star. I thought I could at least see a disc shape, though I'm not sure about that either.
My real question is, is this as good as it gets for Uranus (or Neptune), and also what size telescope would be needed to see it is indeed a planet?
Thanks all!
Eric
